Opinion: Thanking your persuasion
As many times as I wish everyone were like me, I stop and remind myself if this were the case, it would be a very boring world. Yes, I really dislike the person on the bus playing music on his mobile without headphones. No, I don’t want to take a minute to chat to the people with the clipboards on the street. I have to admit it really bugs me when I get offered about 20 free newspapers each day on my way to and from work. And how could anyone possibly like TV programmes about cars?

Last word: SharePoint 2007 - Off the shelf and stand-alone?
There’s little doubt, judging from attendance and activity at this year’s AIIM Roadshow, that the arrival of Microsoft’s SharePoint 2007 has created a huge surge of interest in managing content – both as records and for project collaboration.

Thought leader: The prevention (or detection and suppression) of error
The way I see it, knowledge production and utilisation are key competencies of humans, both as individuals and as influenced by interaction with others, e.g., in communities.
